[QUOTE="B’smom, post: 740065, member: 23359"] He has an IEP, he has been given many exceptions due to his disabilities. He gets tons of breaks and sensory items to help, etc. He’s also identified in the board on a IPRC (Identification, Placement, and Review Committee) as a child with behavioural and language diagnoses. The school technically is going above and beyond their requirements. They’re not a treatment facility but a school for learning. But they do it anyways. One of the main concerns is that he’s unpredictable. His teacher last year asked him to hang up his backpack. He called her a “selfish :censored2:ing :censored2:” and threw a desk. Any demand placed on him, can cause a severe outburst. Last year, a child in his room was telling a joke, B didn’t like that so he put him in a head lock and attempted to strangle him. Then took a pair of scissors and threatened to stab that child. He was suspended. He’s been on many different medications to help. Everything helps for a short time before it stops, included behaviour modification. It appears that the reward (things, time, etc) becomes an obsession and then makes things worse. Unfortunately we don’t have anything other than normal schools in our community. Even the closest specialized school (1.5 hours away) for children with disabilities won’t take him due to behaviours. Every agency in our community turns him away, either because of behaviours or the lack of an ID (intellectual disability). They just keep giving him mental health diagnoses which don’t help us gain support. The agencies we do have involved are all private which gets expensive. The speech therapist at the school board refuses to work with him. So we pay $80 for 30 mins so he can continue to make advancements on his communication skills. I’m told it would help with the outbursts. We have a behavioural consultant that comes to the house $35/hr. Again, his suggestions help for a short time and then they no longer work. He have exhausted all resources in our community, which is why we turned to the treatment facility out of town. The place he’s currently at is regarded as one the best places to get help in our province. It’s only short term though (12 weeks max). They plan on going to the school as well to help them with B. But their strategies are already what the school is doing: CPS- Collaborative Problem Solving by Dr Ross Greene. It was also something we were already doing at home. I was trained on it at school. I honestly work really well with the professionals, I have done everything they’ve asked me to do. I just can’t bring back these cards. My concern is that while there, they have the time to wait him out. He wants to take 45 mins to transition off electronics in the am before school, that’s fine with them.
